engine is all in :funk: no coolant samco pipes and still need to sort some wiring out then she will be SINGING! pics are to follow very soon!

dozza the manifold is not hiden if you look at engine bay from the side as the VR6 lump sits very far forward on the mk2 can see pritty much everything down the back!

also i wont be going to gti festival as im away on a fishing holiday (another hobby :rolleyes: )

decat will sound good. has it go a big back box? if not its going to be loud very loud!
surprised you have gone for lots of black like the inlet manifold, i would have dont the polished and valve cover black or other way round, but saying that the cover for the manifold is silver so will stand out!
